The door started to open, Kel ran back to her room, and slammed the door shut just as Cleon and Roald were emerging from Neal's room.
" Guys," Neal interjected as they were leaving," Promise not to tell Kel what went on here?"
" Deal" the two replied in unison.
Neal shut the door, leaving Roald and Cleon to walk back to their rooms.
" You tell her how you feel yet?" Cleon asked Roald.
" Not outright, I left her a note yesterday morning. I slid it under her door."
" What did it say?" Cleon asked, looking genuinely interested.
" It said, in a nutshell, that I like her, and that I want to get to know her better." Roald said as if it were nothing. " After all, there's only every other squire, page, or even a young knight in the palace that could've written it.
" Good idea. A little juvenile, but good idea all the same."
They had reached Roald's room. " Tomorrow then."
" Yeah, tomorrow."
After they had left, Neal let out a sigh of relief. He had just them from making the biggest mistake of their lives. He didn't have long to be relieved, because right after Roald and Cleon had left, Jareck knocked on his door.
" Yes?" Neal said warily. He didn't trust this kid.
" I need your help Neal."
" Okay. Come in."
" I like zis girl. She izn't an ordinary girl at zat, but I need to know how to tell her. You seemed like ze right person to ask."
" I did? Why? Well, if she isn't an ordinary girl, she won't like the ordinary stuff. So, the best advice I can give you is to just tell her."
" Merci Neal. I appreciate it."
" You're welcome. Now get out so I can study."
